High Light in semis

High Light scored an important victory - 300-293 - over Starlight last Sunday at 2b West Avenue.

The victory saw them leapfrog Betta Price to take the last available semi-final spot in the Institute of Sports community domino competition.

This means the men from 133 Maxfield Avenue will play Gold Club - who beat Almond Tree 300-234 in their rescheduled match - in semi-final two, while league toppers Bejon's host Starlight in the other eliminator.

Both semis have been put back to January 18 due to the funeral, this Sunday, of a Starlight player who was gunned down recently.
